doctors will dictate little things out of order. :) Perhaps what is being said is Inderal 120 mg LA q.d. (meaning Inderal LA 120 mg daily in MT translation).
pt. has delusional thoughts, depression and difficulty concentrating.
drugs include s/l: BENAP (dose 12 mg p.o. q.a.m. and 18 mg p.o. q.h.s.)
thanks for any help! ...
Hi,
Its being said the patient wants to take Lamisil in a pulsed dose situation. I was wondering if a hyphen is needed or not between 'pulsed' and 'dose'; or is it just 'a pulse dose' fashion?? Help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance! ...
The doctor is not including the word mg with doses of medication. Do I just transcribe what I hear or insert it?
IE- simvastatin 10, vitamin E 400 b.i.d., metformin 850 b.i.d., ibuprofen 400 p.r.n ...
I'm having a little trouble with this medication dictation.
"3. Methotrexate 25 mg/mL 0.9 cc weekly injection." Then she says "4 needles 1 mL (s/l u or unit)/125 g1."
What I can't figure out is if she is saying 4 needles or if she is dictating the #4 and "needles" is a medication that I can't find a match to online. Can anyone shed some light here, please? ...
looking for help with dosing verbage:

Hey all,
I am trying to figure out if Pristiq can be dosed at 225 mg? The website I use for dosing doesn't say that. The doctor says, "two twenty-five mg daily." He doesn't say two hundred and twenty-five mg daily. However, I see that Pristiq comes in 50 mg, so if the dose was 50 mg why would he say 2 - 25 mg? LOL! Just checking to see if anyone has an idea.
Thanks,
Chris ...
If a doctor dictates
Glucotrol 10 mg p.o. a.c. and b.s. - i got the a.c. but what does the b.s mean? I thought maybe b.s. was before supper, but that would not make any sense. before meals and before supper?
AND
Metformin 1000 mg p.o. WBS - what is WBS and how is it correctly "written" w.b.s., WBS, wbs?? ...
Regarding the DLP - I've seen it written variously mGy-cm, mGy•cm and mGy.cm.
Becuase it's a product, my inclination is think that the second (with the dot used as in mathmetical publications to indicate multiplication) is correct but just not sure.
Anyone have a definitive answer & reference?
Thanks :) ...
Would I write the following with subscript? I thought subscript was frowned upon. Would I abbreviate part of "per cubic gram patient weight"
The patient received a total of 224 x 10 to the eighth nucleated cells or 0.37 x 10 to the eighth with a total CD 3 dose of 16.96 x 10 to the sixth per cubic gram patient weight. ...
It may be that a total dose of 36 Gy is not necessary, and lowering the dose to 25 to 30/60 may be an appropriate approach, if there is a CR to chemotherapy. ...

Doctor is dictating a medication almost assuredly for a URI -- s/l "Ultahist/Altahist liquid". I actually had this question in the past and no one was able to help or just didn't see my post. Any help would be appreciated. TIA ...
I keep hearing on patients who are in the ICU with all kinds of tubes sticking out of them something that sounds like "sea sas per protocol", often listed along with medications. Today in the same doc I heard the above and also somethng tha sounds like "citra carium per protocol" and suspect it may refer to the same thing. Any ideas? thanks a bunch. ...
Doctor says the patient has heavy bleeding and cramping. She was prescribed "Listerra" or Listetta? The doctor has a pretty heavy accent. which did not help. The Listerra will not prevent unwanted pregnancy like the Mirena will.
So apparently this is not a birth control pill but something to help with the heavy periods and cramping?
Thanks. ...
